Pompeii

Lyrics

Bastille

I was left to my own devicesMany days fell away with nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGreat clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,Does it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyes,Does it almost feel likeYou've been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

We were caught up and lost in all of our vicesIn your pose as the dust settles around us

And the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGreat clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,Does it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyes,Does it almost feel likeYou've been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Oh where do we begin?The rubble or our sins?Oh where do we begin?The rubble or our sins?

And the walls kept tumbling downIn the city that we loveGreat clouds roll over the hillsBringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,Does it almost feel likeNothing changed at all?And if you close your eyes,Does it almost feel likeYou've been here before?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
